        <div id='pageHeader'>Patchwork Gardens 2013 Summer CSA FAQs</div>

        <div class="textblock">Local farm, Patchwork Gardens, is offering a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program 
        this year! In this CSA program, Patchwork Gardens will provide you with a box of locally 
        grown, chemical free, tasty vegetables each week from May to September.  By purchasing a 
        share in the 2013 harvest from Patchwork Gardens, you will receive delicious in season 
        vegetables that are grown with care the old-fashioned way.</div>

        <div class="textHeader">What is a CSA?</div>

        <div class="textblock">Community Supported Agriculture is a direct farm to table program which allows you to become involved in Patchwork Gardens for a full season, enjoying benefits and sharing information that regular customers don&lsquo;t often see.  You&lsquo;ll receive a generous box of fresh produce, with the option of adding specialty items like multicolored free-range eggs to your weekly share.  This 20-week horn of plenty allows you to enjoy only foods that are fresh and in season, as well as to learn about interesting heirloom produce varieties and creative recipes &#45; all the while knowing exactly who and where your food comes from</div>

        <div class="textHeader">When will the 2013 season be?</div> 
        <div class="textblock">The 2013 summer season will last 20 weeks beginning May 15th and ending September 26th. In the past we have included a fall CSA 8 week extension option for our members who just can&lsquo;t get enough.  Details for the fall CSA will be revealed as the year progresses</div>

        <div class="textHeader">How much does it cost?</div> 
        <div class="textblock">Shares come in two sizes: Large and Small. Large shares cost $25 per week and small shares cost $17.50 per week. We recommend large shares for families or two vegetarians and small shares for single folks, depending on the quantities of vegetables you eat. For a large share over the full season, the cost would be $500, while the cost of the full season for a small share is $350.</div>

        <div class="textHeader">What will you get?</div>
        <div class="textblock">For the best value, we suggest purchasing a large share.  For a large share, in mid-summer you might expect to get 2-3 lbs tomatoes, 3 bell peppers, 2 eggplant, 2 onions, 3 summer squash, 1 lb green beans, 2 lb potatoes, 1 bag salad mix, 1 bunch each of kale greens, basil, beets and flowers. This box has a retail value of about $30. Small shares will receive smaller quantities of fruits and vegetables.  We try to do our best to have plenty of everything we grow to provide a satisfying box for all of our members. However, in the event that fruits or vegetables are in limited supply, large shares will receive preference. For example, if we have an early crop of tomatoes, but not enough tomatoes to go around, large shares may receive tomatoes before small shares do. This is one of the benefits of purchasing a large share in the Patchwork Gardens CSA.</div>

        <div class="textblock">For information about when different crops are available, we have posted on our CSA webpage a list of what our members received each week of the 2012 season.</div>

        <div class="textHeader">Who and when should you pay?</div>
        <div class="textblock">We encourage our members to sign up early both to ensure that they get a spot and to help us with planning as the year begins.  We are offering rolling admission as well if you let us know at least a day ahead of the next dropoff. Checks can be made payable to &quot;Patchwork Gardens&quot;</div>

        <div class="textHeader">How will you get your vegetables?</div> 
        <div class="textblock">Each week we will bring your vegetables to the designated delivery locations.  You will receive a re-usable wooden bushel crate with your share of vegetables for the week.  Be sure to let us know ahead of time if you cannot make it to the delivery within the allotted time and we can refund your payment for that week.</div>
